@QuietMagic
Please add me.
💗 How are you feeling today? I am tired, stressed, and exhausted. But okay, getting by
💗 What's something you've found helpful for handling emotions? Deep breathing and snuggling up to my fur babies—they are my service animals; they help me inside and outside of the house. They are my life. I also journal or read a book.
@Rose1324
Hi there. 💜 Sorry that things have been exhausting lately--"getting by" is sometimes the best possible outcome at a given moment. The fur babies sound lovely! 😊 Are they dogs?
Could you put the message "Please add me." in this thread?

(I usually manually update the taglist in the check-in thread each week as needed either way, but that would be the official taglist thread.)
@QuietMagic
No there my cats they are everything to me. Thank you for you reponse.
@QuietMagic
How are you feeling today?
not sure how we feeling today kinda a mix of many emotions right now.
What's something you've found helpful for handling emotions?
for us it mostly just allowing self to feel and not trying to numb or run from our feelings. if that make any since to others we not sure.
@stormieandpaws
Hi there. 💜 It makes sense, just letting feelings be what they are. I guess it helps with processing them and prevents them from building up in the background.
@QuietMagic
that what we keep being told. seem we was taught wrong about emotions as a kid. we always believed it was bad to show emotions to others. due to if you did they be used as a weapon agnist you later. this was a big teaching from our dad. he saw our mom who very emotional as weak too. he even go do not be weak like your mom. so it very hard for us to just let emotions be and not judge them as weakness and being bad. this even with positive emotions. so that why we being told to just let them be and allow self to feel them.
@stormieandpaws
That teaching from your dad is quite a contrast from your current beliefs! How did you manage to de-program and come around to feeling like it's okay to have emotions and let them happen?
